[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're a family of Hopkins alums and it has changed quite a bit over the past 25 years as they've expanded wholistic admissions, DEI initiatives, etc.  It is not the slog it once once.

It's fascinating because as college admissions have become more difficult, schools like Northwestern, Duke, Cornell have become more of a grind (full of geeks), others like Chicago and JHU have become less so. Now they're all very similar---they've met in the middle if you will.

I don't know much about CMU or where it currently stands on the grind scale.  [/quote]

So,your tacit assumption is that "less of a slog" correlates to dei and holistic admissions,  and, yet, you can't even spell!  Maybe any changes to lower stress levels are a result of mental health initiatives, and holistic admissions just brings a broader learning experience to the campus.

It always cracks me up that a certain set of people on this board want to dictate admissions priorities,  and, when they don't match up, claim "gaming" or "less qualified," or whatever. So many kids "merit" admission to these schools.  You all can't prescribe the terms. [/quote]
